TSA workers will be allowed to unionize

Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of unions. I’ve spent my working life at companies where you were hired based on your ability to fill a position, retained based on you continuing to do the job, and pay increases were based on merit. Beyond the many things unions helped with in the past (workplace safety, 40 hour workweek), I don’t see a need for them now.

Why do I not support this? Well, in addition to all the other reasons I’m not a union fan, what happens when the union doesn’t get everything they want in a contract and they decide to strike? What happens to air travel? Yep–gridlock, coming to an airport near you.
